Single ungated pocket. You must loot a datacore from each of the three science vessels and destroy all rogue drones. There are two initial groups of NPCs which aggro right away. The other NPCs are triggered, when you get close to the science vessels.

Note: Science vessels can be looted (not salvaged) but cannot be tractored.
